Piet Mondrian

Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan (Dutch, 1872 - 1944) later known as Piet Mondrian after 1906, was a renowned Dutch painter and art theorist, celebrated as one of the leading figures in 20th-century art. Mondrian is best known for his significant role in the development of abstract art. Over time, he transitioned from figurative painting to an increasingly abstract approach, eventually distilling his artistic expression to its most basic geometric forms.
